Another day of torrential rain greets us, as I have become used to in Singapore. Miao decides to go back to bed and so I get the breakfast and then plan what the next step in the travel should be. A flight Jakarta definitely needs to be looked at and so the morning is taken up with this activity. I have not had to book a flight in a long time and so I forget just how much of a pain it is checking all the comparison websites and then some of the airline websites a...

Today is Chinese New Year and so later on we will be heading to Chinatown, hopefully for some festivities. I am up early for the for the free breakfast and I go upstairs and get chatting to this Irish guy Brian. He's been travelling for years and had even set up a hostel in China during his time.

The thunder and lightning is quite spectacular with deep rumbles and lloud cracks as the l...

The museum itself is a very impressive building, similar in shape to a hand, upturned palm up, wit...

Back on the metro and we head towards the business district, to have a look at some of the skyscrapers, down by the river. It's really nice down here, and of course there is another shopping centre.
